What developmental differences do you see in the children in the classroom?
I have now completed two weeks in a classroom for second graders. Within those two weeks I have really tried to analyze the children and how they interact in the classroom. I could tell almost instantly which students needed more help, which students caught on quickly and which students were the ones that were just plain shy. With out a doubt, each child was different than the other in the way they went about doing the school work and/or interacting with the teacher.
While there were lots of small differences between the children and their developmental differences, there was a few that stood out more than others. For instance, one of the children could not read so when reading time took place she always had a book that had more pictures than words. Another child had a very hard time focusing, if it was time to write down spelling words and it wasn't silent or if children were walking by, it was all he could do to not watch them.
It has been so fun watching the children interact in their classroom and getting to know their little personalities. I am looking forward to the future weeks.
